And so, while they argued, the Mayor locked her in this room so she wouldn't run away and called me over tomorrow.

The next day, I was somehow invited over by the mayor, saying that he had a big present for me. I don't have anything to miss now, the sword that I inherited from my ancestors is gone, and I was even framed.

So the mayor came to tell me that he wanted to return the sword to me! I asked him again and again for his reasons, but he only said lightly, "It should be you after all. No one else can take it away from you."

Later on, I found out that it was a coincidence that the mayor found out about it. The pretty boy from before was also killed by chance and even framed me. Now that everything has been made clear, the mayor said that the mayor also happened to have been sent to the police station.

I brought my sword back to the entrance of the Flower Circle Shop. The shop had already closed, and Zhong Kui Sword had lost its effect, because since ancient times, Zhong Kui Sword had only been used to kill ghosts. Once stained with human blood, it would lose its effect, becoming just like a piece of scrap metal, useless.

But I vaguely remember that when I first came into contact with Zhong Kui's secret art, I saw a method. Because before I had possessed Zhong Kui's sword, I had already heard one sentence. The general meaning of that sentence was that once Zhong Kui's sword failed, he must find the person who forged him or his descendant. However, it was impossible to find the person who forged this sword now. He could only find a pile of white bones. But if it was to find his descendants, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack! The world is so big, where can I find it? But I can't let Zhong Kui's sword be destroyed by me like this!

I lingered outside the wreath shop, racking my brains.

Suddenly, I heard an old fortune-teller loudly shouting: "Astronomical, geographically, fortune telling me, not taking a dime!"

I thought, how could there be such a good thing in this world! How could fortune-telling not take a penny? What does he live on?

Curious, I walked over and asked him to figure out if he could help me find the clue I was looking for.

I quickly walked over and shouted to the old fortune-teller, "Old man! You really don't need money to tell your fortune here? " I asked him doubtfully.

He wore a pair of black "sunglasses," and did not look like a liar.

He stroked his beard, sighed, and said to me: "Young man, you're out of luck!" When I heard this, I panicked. I came all the way here to tell you my fortune!

"How can you say that! It's not like I'm asking you to tell my fortune. What nonsense are you spouting! "

"Then may I ask what young people are after? Is it marriage, marriage, marriage, or death? " The old man seemed very confident and didn't even move. I coughed and said, "I want you to help me count myself as a person."

"Nonsense!" If not, I will call you a ghost! "

This old man! What a venomous tongue! I grumbled in my heart.

"Then who are youngsters? This old man declares here that evil spirits never count. "

"Let me ask you, do you know Zhong Kui?"

"Of course I do."

"Then, do you know that Zhong Kui's sword?"

"Of course I do."

"Then do you know who forged that Zhong Kui's sword?"

"…"

The old man was silent for a while, and when I asked him, he said nothing.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth again.

"Zhong Kui's sword is an ancient treasure. The person who forged it has already passed away many years ago. However, if you really want to know, I'm guessing that you're not asking me to find the creator of the sword, but rather those descendants!"

The old man was like a worm in my stomach right now, and I wanted to know what he said.

"Old me... Is it true that there are no fees here? "

The old man nodded and smiled, "Very few people come to my place. The locals all know that if there is nothing urgent, they usually don't come to me. Those who do come to me are usually people who have no idea what to do. I just saw you hesitating at the other end of the street, as if you didn't make up your mind.

"Master is truly a man of God. I want to find the descendants of the Swordsmiths. I have an important matter to discuss with them, and I hope that you can give me some pointers."

The Master smiled again and stroked his beard. "I can tell that you must have some urgent business with him. Could it be that you have Zhong Kui's sword in your hands? Otherwise …"

"Master, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of losing face. I'm Zhong Kui's descendant, the Zhong Kui sword had fallen into someone else's hands and was stained with human blood, so it's useless. The secret art says that only the descendant of the Swordsmith can solve this problem, but in such a big place, where can I find it?"

"Since the world is so big, it's definitely difficult to find someone. However, I'm not afraid that you won't be able to find them, not to mention finding famous people like you." The Master seemed very confident. I would like to see how awesome this Master is.

He saw the master take out a booklet and flip through it. After that, he took off his "sunglasses" and closed his eyes for a while as he kept mumbling to himself. I wanted to ask him some questions, but he wouldn't let me disturb him.

I waited at the side for a while as I watched his mysterious demeanor. If it was before, I definitely wouldn't have believed in this kind of evil, but now it's different …

After a while, the Master suddenly called out to me: "Don't tell me who told you about the place when you found it, young man. Tell me you got there by accident, or I won't let you off!"

"Why is that, Master?"

"You'll know about this in the future. The person you're looking for is at the West Lake. You just need to bring this over and you'll be able to find his house. But when that happens, you have to put him away, otherwise …"

This old man seems to have some sort of secret, I'm not allowed to say it, I'm not allowed to see it either. That person is in the West Lake, that means I have to run from the Northeast to the Jiangnan region!

"What's wrong? You don't want to go? Too far? "

"No, there is another problem. Master, do you know my name?"

"Of course, Zhong Xin!"

"How do you know?"

"You're Zhong Kui's descendant. I can tell you with a pinch of my fingers, but I can't tell you that. The heavens can't reveal it, so don't ask me why." Since she had already said so, I didn't ask any further questions. He gave me a bunch of keys, saying that I would be able to find them if I took them with me.

I agreed to the grandmaster's request and set off in the afternoon without a second word.

All along the way, I carried only my sword, my keys, and my luggage.

In terms of scenery, there was nothing to be said about the scenery of the West Lake. All the way here, this mountain, this water, this person, they were all beautiful. I walked along the edge of the lake, holding the bunch of keys the Master had given me, and searched quickly for the man.

In fact, I had never even seen him, not knowing what he looked like, not knowing where he lived, and even with this key, it was not a great thing, and I could not find the caster's heir at once.

Before he left, the Master told me that he would ask me about it with these keys.

I kept asking about it from morning till afternoon, but to no avail, and then a strolling old lady said that the key was now almost out of sight, and suggested that I should not search this side of Central Street, but rather go into the country.

Bathroom I listened to the old woman and came to the country.

The scenery in the countryside was also very beautiful. The birdsong and the fragrant flowers made people feel relaxed and happy.

I spent a lot of time and mental energy walking along the road in the countryside in order to find the "Great God." In addition, after coming here to the northeast for a long time, I found myself unable to adapt to the soil and water of Jiangnan's hometown! I walked in a daze. Suddenly, a bunch of unusual "things" appeared in front of me.

As they walked in the fields, it seemed as if they didn't feel anything at all. Their bodies were stiff and straight as they moved about. Their eyes were frozen. Even in broad daylight, they still looked extremely terrifying.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I secretly hid from them and tried my best not to let them see me. If it was something I shouldn't have seen, then I would be done for.

I hid in a pile of grass and watched them, but soon they disappeared into the fields, hidden by the scarecrows, and ideally not a single one of them. I thought to myself, I must have bumped into a ghost. The ghosts that came out in broad daylight are definitely not ordinary ghosts. Although I walk a lot in the dark, this is the first time I've encountered so many ghosts in broad daylight!

When they were all gone, I went on humming and shaking my keys, and the fields filled with my song, and suddenly I felt homesick. I remember when I was young, my mother used to bring me to cut wheat in the fields. I watched by the side, my mother was spreading sweat in the fields, I was young and not sensible, when I grew up, I remembered that the sweat of my childhood was my mother's tears, we ate our mother's tears in exchange for sweat and tears, but now, I had to leave our home, leaving my mother thinking about the poison at home.

As I thought about it, my tears fell. I couldn't hold it in any longer and looked up at the sky, because as a man, after working so hard outside for so many years, I shouldn't shed tears. I looked up.

"Hey!" Brother, what are you doing! "You're blocking my path!" Just as I raised my head, I suddenly heard a rough male voice speaking to me.

I looked at him, puzzled, and at his cow.

"Oh, sorry!" I stepped aside.

"Brother, where have I seen this key in your hand before? You're not a local, are you? " The brawny man said.

"Yeah, I'm looking for someone. I'm looking for the owner of this key chain."

"You're really strange. Although I seem to have seen this set of keys somewhere before, ordinary people don't use this type and style anymore. It looks like it's at least been there for a hundred years!"

"Well, then, where have you seen such a set of keys?"

The brawny man was stunned and replied, "Let me think, it seems like he is …" In the temple in front, when I went to offer incense that day, I saw a man with such a key tied around his waist. I looked at him for a long time.

I suddenly had an idea. Who knows, that person might be the person I'm looking for!
